I actually moved here from Portland back in 2020 specifically to invest and now own 10+ rentals, and what keeps pulling people in is how strong the fundamentals are.

So minimal damage, and I have had one guy move in for 7 months, his dog pulled up all the grass in the backyard and some other stuff which cost us the full security deposit $3,600.00.

If you like, I can pull up some specific markets right now where self‐managing investors are buying long‐term rentals with 1% rule or close cash flow potential.

I always pull the county assessor records to verify the actual square footage and bedroom count against the listing.

I've been looking into Airbnb for years but never pulled the trigger.

For a lower basis property, I.e. property #1, you may want to consider not doing the cost seg study because you're not as likely to get as much benefit. 4. property 2&3 do have a decent amount of basis so there's probably some benefit that year as you'll have 100% bonus depreciation as 2020 and 2022 had 100% bonus depreciation.Before pulling the trigger on the cost seg, I'd recommend contacting your cpa to do some tax planning. 

To get a realistic ARV on property, pull Zillow.

If you need the liquidity, HELOC is a good solution to tap into your primary home.

I do not need anything that will require me to pull my hair out. 

You can always pull a HELOC to do the STR/MTR strategy which is always great.
